Prospective students looking to enhance their careers or change professions with postgraduate study can learn about full time, online or part-time options at RGU’s Postgraduate Open Evening on Thursday, November 10 from 6pm to 8pm at its Garthdee campus.

The free event is an opportunity to talk to RGU’s experts about the university’s postgraduate programmes and find out why developing new skills while gaining professional accreditation increases employability.

RGU’s academics will be on hand to discuss options for a wide range of postgraduate courses from computing, engineering and life sciences to business, surveying, law, social work, art and design and nursing.

Members of staff will also be available to discuss admissions, careers, study skills support services, facilities including the RGU Library and the Georgina Scott Sutherland Learning Centre, and answer questions on how to apply.

Jan Cutting, RGU’s Vice Principal for Commercial and Regional Engagement, said: “Whether you have recently graduated, are looking to gain professional accreditation, retrain or enhance your skills, developing your knowledge and expertise within a specific field will increase your employability within the current competitive jobs market.
